Strong cast lifts Wake-Walker's constrained staging in Glyndebourne Tour's Fidelio

Von Nick Boston, 16. Oktober 2021

A vast panopticon cages strong musical performances in Wake-Walker's Fidelio at Glyndebourne, with Dorothea Herbert and Adam Smith standing out vocally and emotionally as Leonore and Florestan.

Ariadne in Milan: the director cannot find the thread

Von Renato Verga, 23. April 2019

Frederic Wake-Walker sticks to a vapid pop-parody that demeans the intellectual message of Strauss' Ariadne auf Naxos.

Welser-Möst unveils a musically superb Ariadne auf Naxos in Cleveland

Von Timothy Robson, 13. Januar 2019

Tamara Wilson was a top-notch Ariadne, supported by a strong cast, including Kate Lindsey as a passionate Composer, a thrilling Zerbinetta by Daniela Fally, and an unbeatable Bacchus in Andreas Schager.

An emotionally distant Peter Grimes at Oper Köln

Von Cristina Burack, 28. November 2018

Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes is a nuanced, gripping tale that should pack an emotional punch. Despite fine moments, Oper Köln's production didn't serve the work.

Smashing fun for all: Glyndeboune on Tour's La finta giardiniera

Von David Karlin, 5. Oktober 2014

La finta giardiniera isn't one of Mozart's greatest operas. But this is about as good a production of it as I can imagine and makes for a deliciously light-hearted evening.

The Opera Group: Bow Down

Von Paul Kilbey, 13. Juni 2012

Two sisters, a knight, a miller, and a blind harpist. Such is the cast of Tony Harrison and Harrison Birtwistle's Bow Down, their 1977 music-theatre piece currently being toured around the UK by The Opera Group. It's an elemental, mythic piece, but also a testament to the endless capacity for novelty that old, grim folk tales like this have.
